System
CHATHAM, Ont.—CP—The Soviet farm leaders sat
under a weeping willow tree on the spacious lawns of the
Lawrence Kerr farm Friday, and learned how a poor
farmer, with scientific knowledge and initiative, could
become wealthy under the free enterprise system.
It was a quiet day. RCMP,
a
provincial and local police were
on guard when Uic Russians cn
tered the city in the morning and
returned later for lunch. But there
were only a handful of carious
spectators and no demonstrations.
WANT TO STAY LONGER
S. J. Chagnon, chief federal
conducting officer, said later thc
Russians were so fascinated wilh
the developments on the Kerr
farm, two miles south of here, that
they wanted to arrange to remain
in the area to get further details
on his farming methods.
Mr, Chagnon, in the past, had
bowed to their wishes and changed
plans at the last minute, but he
suggested the nine delegates keep

12 men the year round, along with
an additional five in the summer.
He grows wheat, sugar beets,
soybeans, carrots and other vegetables for canning and raises
some 300 to 500 head of cattle.
All f.ll-time employes havc their
own automobiles. All married men
had their own homes on th: land,

U.S. Wants To Keep
Pressure On Reds
LONDON—AP—Differences have developed between
Britain and the United States over the timing and locale
of a proposed experiment in East-West arms control In
Europe, informed diplomat* said Friday night.
Prime Minister Eden proposed
the plan at the Geneva conference
of the Big Four in July. It would
provide the limitation of Russian
and Western arms and armies in
a defined area of Europe and for
joint inspection to prevent cheating.
■The Britons have given details
of this project to the Americans.
They have suggested it should be
launched as soon as possible—if
the Russians agree to a suitable
inspection system. They have proposed that the area should be
mainly in Germany and extending
about 100 miles along the line of
thc East and West German frontier.
MIGHT LESSEN PRESSURE
But the Americans feel that
application of such a plan might
lessen the pressure on the Russians to play a part in uniting East
and West Germany.
The other American objection is
that if the arms limitation plan
were tried out in Germany it
might seem to confirm the present
division of that country.
The informants said oni compromise idea is under study. It If
to apply the arms limitation and
inspection experiment to another
part of Europe where forces of
East and West face each other—
maybe along the Nonvegian-Sovitt
frontier or between CzechoslovaMa
and southwest Germany.
The Eden project is one of several before the five-power. iub-
committee of the United Nation*
disarmament commission In New
York.
The whole problem likely eame
up for discussion between Foreign
Secretary Harold Macrnillan and
Livingston Merchant, U, S. assistant secretary of state in chargi
of European affairs.
Merchant is on the last lap of
a swift swing through the main
capitals of west Europe where ht
has been trying to co-ordinate
allied policies in preparation for
next month's Big Four foreign
ministers' conference at Geneva.

ST. ANDREWS, N. B.-CP-Should someone

Parhaps not, says a leading New-

when the disease Is fatal that the
truth may be hidden for' some

Dr. A. H, Sormany of Edmunds-
ton, president of the N.B. .Medical
Society, told Its annual, meeting
here Friday:
".When the cure Is to be obtained
at the condition of having the
collaboration*of the patient,.it is
the doctor's duty to tell him lhe
whole truth concerning" his disease."
. Physicians often were.asked by
relatives of the sick person'to withhold information, letting them pass
it along, Dr. Sormany said.
"To accept this agreement Is
frustrating the patient, from precisely what he is searching for—
the truth from his doctor .... '■.
* "It is futile to imagine, that the
patient may.1 get better.in spite of
himself, living In a dream without
knowing the truth about his condition, when he has a long and hard
way to travel before getting well.
.One day he must learn from other
sources what'we have tried to hide

People Expect More, Power
Of Govt. Must Be Widened
' OTTAWA—CP — Prime
"Minister St. Laurent says
that if governments are to
'm§et the growing demands
made of them then it follows
that ■ the necessary . powers
must be made available.
"I think you will agree that there
is a general tendency on the part
of the citizens in oil societies sim
■Har. to ours to expect more and
more of their governments, and
particularly on lhe central government in lhe case of a federal system such as ours," he told a dinner
meeting of the Canadian BarAsso-
ciallon Friday night.
"II .those demands are to be met
it naturally follows that tlie government has to bs endowed with
the necessary powers and financial
mean5 to make that possible,"
The statements were included in
a text of notes on liis address issued to the press before delivery.
INCREASING OPINION
Mr. St. Laurent, a. corporation
lawyer and a former president of
the CBA, said there seems to he
an increasing body of opinion that
feels the 'state should become
directly involved, in assuring the
welfare of lis Individual citizens.
."Or at leasl," lie added,, "of
those who do not seem to he able
to look after themselves, adequately.
"And when such a body of opinion in a democratic' society represents* the will of the majority of

'if ■ they are lo remain democratic
governments, Have to; take practical steps within the bounds of
the constitution to carry out that
will."
Taking note of a CBA section's
motion criticizing the federal im
migration department as holding
undue powers, the prime minister
said* "we In the government have
often been accused of concentrat*
ing power In our own hands."
There were those — "especially
when' they ar? in the opposition"
—who felt it was 'the government
duty to curb any tendency toward
centralization. But governments'today, were increasingly called upon

EXERCISE POWERS
' Thiswas particularly true.of national defence where,** to lessen'the
possibility of' war, governments
must assume responsibilities and
e:;ercise po^ei*s' to.a degree.commensurate with the danger .involved,
He added:
"It is generally agreed that this
situation has brought about a
tendency of increasing, wilh the
dangers that ensue, the powers of
the executive to act vigorously and
expeditiously."
But he told some 1,000 lawyers
and their wives at the white tie
and evening gown gathering:
"if we apply tiie spiritual (reai*

U.S. Wants To Keep
Pressure On Reds
LONDON—AP—Differences have developed between
Britain and the United States over the timing and locale
of a proposed experiment in East-West arms control In
Europe, informed diplomat* said Friday night.
Prime Minister Eden proposed
the plan at the Geneva conference
of the Big Four in July. It would
provide the limitation of Russian
and Western arms and armies in
a defined area of Europe and for
joint inspection to prevent cheating.
■The Britons have given details
of this project to the Americans.
They have suggested it should be
launched as soon as possible—if
the Russians agree to a suitable
inspection system. They have proposed that the area should be
mainly in Germany and extending
about 100 miles along the line of
thc East and West German frontier.
MIGHT LESSEN PRESSURE
But the Americans feel that
application of such a plan might
lessen the pressure on the Russians to play a part in uniting East
and West Germany.
The other American objection is
that if the arms limitation plan
were tried out in Germany it
might seem to confirm the present
division of that country.
The informants said oni compromise idea is under study. It If
to apply the arms limitation and
inspection experiment to another
part of Europe where forces of
East and West face each other—
maybe along the Nonvegian-Sovitt
frontier or between CzechoslovaMa
and southwest Germany.
The Eden project is one of several before the five-power. iub-
committee of the United Nation*
disarmament commission In New
York.
The whole problem likely eame
up for discussion between Foreign
Secretary Harold Macrnillan and
Livingston Merchant, U, S. assistant secretary of state in chargi
of European affairs.
Merchant is on the last lap of
a swift swing through the main
capitals of west Europe where ht
has been trying to co-ordinate
allied policies in preparation for
next month's Big Four foreign
ministers' conference at Geneva.

ST. ANDREWS, N. B.-CP-Should someone
an incurable cancer be told there is no hope?
Parhaps not, says a leading New-
Brunswick doctor, but it is only
when the disease Is fatal that the
truth may be hidden for' some
time.
Dr. A. H, Sormany of Edmunds-
ton, president of the N.B. .Medical
Society, told Its annual, meeting
here Friday:
".When the cure Is to be obtained
at the condition of having the
collaboration*of the patient,.it is
the doctor's duty to tell him lhe
whole truth concerning" his disease."
. Physicians often were.asked by
relatives of the sick person'to withhold information, letting them pass
it along, Dr. Sormany said.
"To accept this agreement Is
frustrating the patient, from precisely what he is searching for—
the truth from his doctor .... '■.
* "It is futile to imagine, that the
patient may.1 get better.in spite of
himself, living In a dream without
knowing the truth about his condition, when he has a long and hard
way to travel before getting well.
.One day he must learn from other
sources what'we have tried to hide
from him. He will then know that

People Expect More, Power
Of Govt. Must Be Widened
' OTTAWA—CP — Prime
"Minister St. Laurent says
that if governments are to
'm§et the growing demands
made of them then it follows
that ■ the necessary . powers
must be made available.
"I think you will agree that there
is a general tendency on the part
of the citizens in oil societies sim
■Har. to ours to expect more and
more of their governments, and
particularly on lhe central government in lhe case of a federal system such as ours," he told a dinner
meeting of the Canadian BarAsso-
ciallon Friday night.
"II .those demands are to be met
it naturally follows that tlie government has to bs endowed with
the necessary powers and financial
mean5 to make that possible,"
The statements were included in
a text of notes on liis address issued to the press before delivery.
INCREASING OPINION
Mr. St. Laurent, a. corporation
lawyer and a former president of
the CBA, said there seems to he
an increasing body of opinion that
feels the 'state should become
directly involved, in assuring the
welfare of lis Individual citizens.
."Or at leasl," lie added,, "of
those who do not seem to he able
to look after themselves, adequately.
"And when such a body of opinion in a democratic' society represents* the will of the majority of
the population ,the governments,
'if ■ they are lo remain democratic
governments, Have to; take practical steps within the bounds of
the constitution to carry out that
will."
Taking note of a CBA section's
motion criticizing the federal im
migration department as holding
undue powers, the prime minister
said* "we In the government have
often been accused of concentrat*
ing power In our own hands."
There were those — "especially
when' they ar? in the opposition"
—who felt it was 'the government
duty to curb any tendency toward
centralization. But governments'today, were increasingly called upon
Aa increase s-orvices iii the national
interest.
EXERCISE POWERS
' Thiswas particularly true.of national defence where,** to lessen'the
possibility of' war, governments
must assume responsibilities and
e:;ercise po^ei*s' to.a degree.commensurate with the danger .involved,
He added:
"It is generally agreed that this
situation has brought about a
tendency of increasing, wilh the
dangers that ensue, the powers of
the executive to act vigorously and
expeditiously."
But he told some 1,000 lawyers
and their wives at the white tie
and evening gown gathering:
"if we apply tiie spiritual (reai*
ures which we have inherited to
the preservation and the development of lhe. free enlightened so-
city into which we have been
born, we can be confident of meeting both thc external and internal
challenges lo our continued freedom,"
